The proposed change is to implement a tiered reimbursement system that reduces the per diem for longer lengths of stay, in order to encourage discharge planning to less restrictive environments. The OHCA is also proposing an increase to the current rate for services defined as ?community-based transitional? (CBT) programs from $190.97 per day to $220 per day. The proposed tiered rates for all residential programs are calculated after the standard overall reduction of 3.25% is made to the current base rates.

A rates and Standards hearing will be held on March 8, 2010 in the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Zone Room located at 4545 North Lincoln at 1:30 P.M.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, and 40 CFR ?142, the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation, that the State of Oklahoma has revised its approved Public Water System Supervision Primacy Program. This is the program which oversees drinking water facilities in Oklahoma. Specifically, Oklahoma has adopted the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) Short-Term Regulatory Revisions and Clarifications to strengthen the implementation of the LCR for more effective protection of public health by reducing exposure to lead in drinking water. EPA has determined that these revisions submitted by Oklahoma are no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA proposes to approve these program revisions.

However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by April 5, 2010, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, and if no comments are received which cause EPA to modify its tentative approval, this determination shall become effective on April 5, 2010.
